As is tradition with the Joint Congress, the meeting will follow the general format for the annual meeting of the host society. So for 2018 it will be run like an ESEB meeting. This means talks and posters are chosen via an application process. For all the details, including registration and talk applications, consult their meeting website:​

ASN/SSE Travel grants

1) ASN/SSE Graduate/PDF travel awardsGraduate student and postdoc members of the SSE and/or ASN can request to be considered for a $500 USD travel award to the Evolution 2018 meeting in Montpellier, France. To be eligible, you must 1) be a member of SSE and/or ASN, 2) present a talk or poster at the meeting, 3) not have received the travel award the previous year, AND 4) postdocs must be fewer than 6 years post-PhD without a permanent position.

Individuals can apply for multiple awards, but no one may receive more than one travel award per meeting (this includes an SSE travel award, SSE Hamilton travel awards, ASN travel award, SSE International travel stipend, and ESEB travel supplement).*

The deadline for this application is January 17. Notifications of awards will be made by February 15.

Funds will be paid in the form of a $500 check in US dollars.

*Note: If you are a graduate student or postdoctoral fellow from a low GDP country, you are eligible to apply for the $500 Graduate/Postdoc Travel Award AND for an International Travel Stipend(see below) though no one will be granted more than one award. If you are chosen for an International Travel Stipend AND the $500 award, you will be given the option to choose which award you would like to accept. NOTE that you may only accept ONE travel award.

​2) SSE International Travel StipendsThese stipends are for students and young scientists to attend the Evolution meeting in Montpellier, France.​Eligibility: Applicants must be SSE members (for becoming a member of SSE, see https://payments.evolutionsociety.org/joinsse/). Applications can be submitted by scientists at various stages of their professional career (e.g., Masters and PhD students, postdocs, and lecturers). Scientists working in a country with high GDP are not eligible (for the list of excluded countries see below). People who received an SSE travel stipend in the last five years are not eligible. Applicants must submit to present either an oral communication or a poster to be eligible for the stipend. This will be verified before the reimbursement, but no proof that a poster or talk is accepted is necessary at the application stage.
